AUSTIN, TX - March 4, 2014 - Zenoss Inc., provider of unified IT monitoring and management solutions for physical, virtual, and cloud-based IT, today announced the availability of a new ZenPack for HP ProLiant servers, and an updated version of the ZenPack for Dell PowerEdge servers. With these latest releases, Zenoss, adds comprehensive coverage for rack and blade servers which are commonly used for new private and public cloud computing deployments, including HP CloudSystem and Dell Active System converged infrastructure offerings.

Leveraging the on board tools provided by HP – Insight Systems Manager and Integrated Lights Out (iLO), and Dell – OpenManage Server Agent (OMSA), and Remote Access Controller (iDRAC), the ZenPacks automatically discover the servers, monitor performance, manage events, and expedite root-cause analysis. The ZenPacks also provide insight into business impact through real-time reporting of service disruptions to help IT Operations personnel prioritize the order of resolution. In addition, these ZenPacks provide out-of-band monitoring on KPIs including power consumption, thermals etc., while enabling remote restarts in case of operating system unavailability or a crash.
